versity, for colorsd pupils; the great female

nary, st. Cecilia and St Bernard Converts,
Frank Goodwin's Business College, the
Nashville School for Fine Arts and dozens
of other private schools of learning. Then
also come the city schools, which are unex-
celled. The system adopted, the standard
Of requirements, the capacity Of teachers
and the average Of scholarship are things
to which the fathers and mothers Of Nash
vile may alike point with pride. II is
1900 pupils attend the various institutions
of Nashville.
In point Of amusements Nashville pre-
serves its prestige. At the various theaters
Of the city may be seen the leading lights
of the profession, the stars Of the histrionic
world. JNAa 98&
The Theater vendome is now building
at great cost and will, when completed,
be magnificent temple. There are also the
Masonic Theater, Grand Opera House,
Mays Opera House and Broad-street
Amusement Hall, all of which keep open
doors during the season. 8
The,city is represented in the Southern Base
Ball League and here as elsewhere the
public spirit and success Of her people is
shown. The team is now first in the great
race for the championship, outranking such
cities as Memphis, Mobile, Ala, Charleston,
S. c., Savannah, Ca, and New Orleans. At
the number Of Southern cities that were al
together unable to support educational sport.
Athletic halls and boating clubs are literally
ratrOnized and attended.
1t is Nashville's banks that make up her
real pride. Her people are to-day actually
the wealthiest on the top Of the earth, one
city alone excepted. She has banking
capital in eleven banking institutions OF
SIS, 10000, which is as large as the joint
banking capital Of Memphis, Atlanta, Biz
mingham, Chattanooga and Mobile COM
our citizens is far ahead Of the ordinary. In
natural beauty, visitors unite in praise Of
Nashville. Seated, like ancient Rome upon
hill-tops and in the valleys, she
is mistress Of as fine view
Of surrounding scenrey as could
be pictured. Magnificent homes are dotted
hither and thither down in the city, In its sub
urbs and out even further upon its beautiful
turrpikee, stOrehOuses and residences alike
are tasteful and ornamental. Most OF these
are new, and the average visitor is aston
ished at the newness of..the CITY and charm
ed with the taste displayed in the buildings.
Nashville, in ante-bellum days, was quite q
town, but since the war, the people have
prospered, and old Nashville has given way
to new and a more progressive Nash
vile. Her public buildings are very
handsome. The State Capitol sits upon her
highest hill like crown upon the brow Of
beautiful nature and is the most conspic-
uous object for miles around. It was built
at a cost of several millions Of dollars. The
new custom-house Is another Of the attrac-
tons of the city. Then come the court
buildings and the buildings Of the city
schools.

city of Nashville is surrounded by number
of towns ranging between $500 and 10000
population which are an adjunct to her and
which are her equals in prosperity and hap
piness.
GAINESVILLE on the northwest with popu-
lation of nearly 10000, Jackson on the ex-
IRENE west Of her, Columbia, the county
seat of old Maury, the wealthiest county in
the State, Pulaski, Lebanon, Murfreesboro,
Franklin, Franklin and Hopkinsville, Ken
lucky, Gallatin, Waverly, Tullahoma and
the like are some of the numerous tributa-
ries to the success and wonderful growth of
Nashville.
1t must follow as the night the day, that
Nashville will soon rank as the Commercial
Queen Of the South. The beneficent de-
signs of nature decree that this elevation
shall occur and the forces winch are to
achieve it are now in bold exercise. The
progress which the Capital of
Tennessee has made is an assurance
of her ultimate greatness when her adj
vantages are more fully perceived and de-
veloped. A glance at her business affords

Alabama, Georgia and Carolinas her sales
men go, also into Arkansas, Illinois and
Kentucky, and to all these are
annually shipped large quantities of
her produce. Her merchants are known
to be wide-awake and progressive at the
same time that they offe rterms and condi-
tons which are most reasonable. The
credit of.Nashville's merchants is by-word
in the great marts of the world, and it is
equaIled by only one city in the United
States. While in other cities the crash Of
unfortunate circumstances and the DEGREES
of ill-willed destinies bring collapse upon
collapse and shake in the face Of business
the finger Of hard times, Nashville's mer-
chants are as serene as a cloudless horizon
and as free from the clouds that may
threaten their brethren Of other cities.
AS shoe market, Nashville is the largest
jobbing shoe market south Of the Ohio
River, and the sixth in the country. The
only boot and shoe factory in the South is
in Nashville, and the eight firms in the trade
represent capital of over 81, 000, 900, with
annual sales Of $S.500,000'
Nashville is the largest hardware market
in proportion to its population In the United
States; bold announcement, but easily
demonstrated. 1t has de factO larger vol
ume of hardware trade than either Cincin-

ton amounts to about 5000, 900, and the
annual shipments aggregate 120, O00, 600
feet. There are now sixteen lumber mills
here, and these are all equipped completely
with the latest and most improved ma
chinery. The great Eastern and Western
markets of America and London, Glasgow,
Liverpool, Hamburg and other European
points are the receptacles for the bulk of
our local expectations. The territory sur
rounding Nashville is the undisputed head
quarters in the United States for hard
woods. "
Nashville has during the past ten years
been developing most wonderfully as
factor in supplying the retail trade Of the
South with its merchandise. To-day she
stands where she never stood before and
even now can only catch glimpse of the
roseate destiny ahead. Into Mississippi,

and capital seeking such investment Is rapid
ly pouring in. While city built.upon only
one industry may flourish, yet 1t Is always
subject to the fluctuations in value Of that
particular product, and ii is easy to see that
a very great depression in that interest
would have a blighting effect upon the
general welfare Of such city. Nashville is
the only Southern city which is not 30 sit
uated. The variety Of her industries and
commerce is 80 great that nothing less than
panic Of national scope could PROSTATE
her. This is fact whose existence has
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1887-05-12

an intelligent conception of her possibilities.
To-day Nashville has larger general trade
than any Southern city, and the credit of
her merchants is second to only one city in
the Union. The crucial test Of calm inves-
tigation into any part Of business reveals no
weakness. Her National banking capital is
nearly three times as large as thatO Mobile,
vile has advanced as lumber market until
to-day she is classed as the fifth in import
ance in the United States, and third in size
as manufacturing center.

Ably accounted for by scientific man who
has made the woman profound study. He
says the tragediennes natural disposition is
indicated as clear as print by the curve of her
back, the excessive hollow at the waist line
and the narrowness of the supple hips. She
carries herself with all the art of her stage
training, but no Bengal tigress ever stepped
with more slnuous grace than this phenome-
nal creature. Her temper and her passions are
as feline as though she travelled m cage, and
the peculiar sweep of the jaw where it joins
the ear and the shape of the mouth suggest
TO the close student of natural history an ar
dent power that is more curious than pleas

These are only few physical points of re-
semblance, but the brilliant Sarahs history
furnishes many moral ones which are strik-

n a IDENTIFIED,

Recently County Commissioner speidel
opened tho box. Init were found letters
from his brother, Asshal, his sister, Caro-
line, and other relatives. These tell tho
story of his successes and failures, his
trials sud jsya. The last record ia OF the
dato Of Juno 2S, 1876, six days before he
received the fatal injuries.
There were also In his box land grants,
deeds and mortgages Of largo value. These
attracted attention, and the facts 80 far "a
known we're published. A committee
WAS appointed to inquire after the dead
msn's heira, and Chairman McGregof, OF
this committee, has received a letter from
Aeahel Gore, his brother. The writ
ing Is the same as that OF the
letters in the box. A letter was also re-
ceived from q lawyer of Adams, Mass,
named Bixby, who claimst to DO a nephew,
and another from Attorney Beers, OF
North Adams, who knows the family and
seeks information.
Tho papers will be surrendered only 10
a person with the legal authority to re-
ceive them. What value they have after
this lapse Of time cannot BE- told.
The ~atrspgees thing about the whole
matter is that no intelligent, Systematic
effort was made to find the mans heirs
long ago. There ID no evidence that the
papera were ever examined until Mr.
spe!del glanced at them. Possibly tho
neglect to investigate the matter long $50
has rendered valueleas papers which
would then have been OF great value, and
deprived the heira Of Loyel Gore Of what
is theirs by right.
